Berrettini is in sizzling form with 9 wins in his last 11 matches, including victories over fine players like Broady, Marterer, Troicki, and Hurkacz.

The Italian's 28-9 combined hardcourt record for 2017 and 2018 smashes Kudla's 16-13 combined record.

Berrettini was plainly the better player last year with a 53-22 overall record as compared to Kudla's 35-27 overall record.

Berrettini's 60-21 career hardcourt record easily defeats Kudla's 145-113 record in terms of winning percentage (74% as compared to 56%).

The American had a couple of easy opponents in the previous qualifying rounds, but an in-form Berrettini should put an end to his run.
